Incision Site Still Swollen

belly1.jpgIsis still has quite a bit of swelling on the incision site. I’m going to have the vet out to check it hopefully tomorrow or on Monday. Isis is sore, which I suppose is to be expected. When I place my hand near the incision site, she lifts her back leg to threaten a “don’t do that.”

She still seems to be eating the grain with the corn oil. Maybe this will work. I hope so.

It was so gorgeous today: clear blue skies and mild weather. Almost a little chilly. Perfect riding weather. I got to the barn with just enough time to throw a saddle on someone… I miss riding her. Rajiyyah’s training isn’t at the same level as Isis’ so it’s hard to just throw the saddle on her and go have fun. Maybe in a month or so she’ll be closer to doing that. Right now, she is still shying too much at “boogers” around the ring.

Maybe tomorrow I can get out to the barn earlier. To do that, I need to log off of here and go to bed so I can be at work at a reasonable time.

    What happens whenever you go to the hospital? You come home with a cold. It appears that Kasane may have done just that. On Saturday, I found a great wad of yellow snot on the wall of Kasane’s stall. She hadn’t been in the stall that long, so I thought maybe someone else had used…

    The Grey Wonder Mare has been here a few weeks now and has settled in.

It’s interesting riding a mare I had five or six years…

    When Isis was diagnosed with Equine Protozoal Myeloencephalitis, one site provided answers and informative discussion about this disease, current treatment options, and tests: EPM Horse.org. One of the keys to successfully treating EPM successfully is early detection. The more people know about EPM, the better chance they will have of recognizing the disease and treating…

    Man, talk about an up-and-down week! About 1:30 AM Tuesday morning, Isis colicked. Very mild, from what they said. She basically went down, got back up, had a slightly elevated heart rate and that was it. She was given some mineral oil. During the day, she passed the mineral oil and had a very good…
